Raipur: Inconsistency has been India's bane for a long time and the biggest task for Sardar Singh and company would be to come up with a steady performance when they take on a dangerous Belgium in the semifinal of the Hockey World League (HWL) semifinal, here today.

After a poor start to the tournament, a 0-3 loss to Argentina, India produced a fine show to hold Olympic champions Germany 1-1 before dishing out another mediocre performance to lose 1-3 against title-holders Netherlands.

But an unpredictable India then saved their best for the tough quarterfinal clash against world no.4 Great Britain and eked out a close 2-1 win to progress to the last four stage.

The up and down showing is worrying India's chief coach Roelant Oltmans and the Dutchman was candid enough to say that he can't guarantee a consistent performance from his wards in the next match.

"If you ask me whether we will be able to give a performance like this (against Great Britain) again, then frankly speaking I am not sure about it. But of course in the next two days we will work towards that," Oltmans said about India's inconsistent performance.
